Having taken last series off from Made In Chelsea, Miles Nazaire is back on the show as the cast relocate to the countryside to film in a COVID-safe bubble.
Potentially awkwardly, this involves him living in the same country pile as ex-girlfriend Maeva D’Ascanio and ex-friend James Taylor, who are a couple.
In a scene shared exclusively by MailOnline ahead of Monday’s premiere episode of the new series, Miles and Maeva come face-to-face for the first time in months.

Interrupting an impromptu French lesson between Maeva and Paris Smith, Miles joins the girls to break the ice.
The exes get chatting in French, promoting an awkward Paris to leave them to it.
‘It’s nice to see you!’ Miles says, with Maeva agreeing. ‘Last time we saw each other was really nice. And we left it really well…’
Meava adds: ‘We left each other in a respectful way, but then the fact we didn’t see each other after that, in my head I was like, are we on good terms, are we on bad terms, are we on no terms?’

Miles agrees that he didn’t know the appropriate way to act around his ex.
‘I wasn’t sure how to act. But as soon as I saw your face – your little smile – I was like, me and Meava are fine!’
Miles asserts that he wants to be respectful to James.
‘It’s not easy for him,’ Maeva says. ‘He trusts me, but he doesn’t want me to make him feel uncomfortable!’
